KellieH 0 Posted October 5, 2008 WHAT IS THE realized band. I have a vg band suppoose to hold more cc:s My dr told me it was a new type of the LAP BAND. my band holds up to 9cc's. I currently have 3. I go back to the dr. on the 13th and I'm going to ask for another fill. I still don't feel very much restriction. I can't believe you haven't seen the commercials for the Realize Band??? They are all over the TV's here in Alabama. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slackaction 0 Posted October 5, 2008 Have not seen anything on realize band but my vg band can hold up to 11cc account the tubing holds some of the saline in it. I also have 9 to 10cc in it have very little restriction but my main problem is drink when eating and it flushes food right through the band and i sometime cheat the band example i have a hard time eating bread, toast, cake, donuts ect.. So i dunk them in milk to make them soagie and they go down easy but i get on a sugar craving binge and go nuts any suggestion on how to avoid a sugar binge, anyone got a suggestion,thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
